Local Representatives Program

What is the role of a Land Hermit Crab Owners Society (LHCOS) Local Representative?

A LHCOS Local Representative is someone who will be a resource for land hermit crab owners in their area and act on behalf of LHCOS to promote the four principles of C.A.R.E. :

• Community & Conservation
• Advocacy
• Research & Rescue
• Education

What makes a good Local Representative?

• You have a good grasp on the basics of hermit crab care.
• You have a good attitude and approach to others who are learning.
• You have a desire to advocate in some way, shape or form for hermit crabs.
• You are active in our community and programs.
• You are willing to volunteer in one of our programs or take on some tasks for LHCOS. We are growing fast and we need hands to help with the chores!
